By pressing any one of the four band selector buttons the display shows the band selected and a random frequency within that band.
TUNING MODE ADJUSTING THE ANTENNA Locate the band you want to listen to in the following chart and adjust the antenna as indicated.
You may select any frequency using four different turning methods: Direct turning Manual Tuning Scan Turning Memory Tuning DIRECT TUNING You may "KEY IN" a specific band (120m, 49m,16m) by pressing the appropriate button. The exact station is then selected by pressing the buttons corresponding to the station frequency. Example: To tune 100.70 Mhz on the FM band, follow this procedure: 1. Press the POWER button to turn on the radio. 2. Press the button marked, FREQ ("Frequency") 3.

AM SENSITIVITY: DISTANCE/ LOCAL SELECTTIVITY SWITCH This switch adjusts the receiver's sensitivity. When you listen to a strong station and the signal is slightly distorted, set the switch to the LOCAL position for best reception. For normal or weak stations, set the switch to the DX position for maximum sensitivity.
LOCK SWITCH USE EXTERNAL ANTENNA USE Using the LOCK switch prevents unauthorized operation of the radio and will also prevent the station you are listening to from being changed. When the LOCK switch is moved to its up position, the POWER button ant TUNING controls are completely disabled. If the radio is on when the LOCK switch is moved to its up position, you will not be able to turn it off.
